Meriam Mir Gospels
1When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
1Ege nerute sabath baruk, E bakeamulu nerute kole ra meta, Faresaio le, E lagelag ero, uiaba abi deraimer.
2Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
2Dasmer, nerute le abi opem, begur gim.
3Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
3Ege Iesu de uabi daratagerare, gaire Ereuer gelar giz pako Faresaio giz, kega, Nako abkoreb idigiri gim sabath ge, nako nolea?
4But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
4Ege uiaba mer baomare. Ege E abi erpei, a abi idigiri, E emariklu.
5He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
5Ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Na le nagri asina a kau ege ekesmer auak ge, nako nole sabath ge deguar?
6They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
6Uiaba nole abi mer atuat kak abele lu.
7He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
7Ege E uiabi daratagerare nerute mer babisdarie uader namarida, E uiabi umele E dikiapor au lu E eidi; ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega,
8“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
8Ese nerute le mari uanatager, kega, Bakeamu uetpurem, ma nole eidi au lu ge: nole nerute aule mari namarida.
9and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
9Ege emariklu le bakeamulu uabim, E mari detager, Ekemer pako abele kole: ege ma bakeamulu kebi lu sirip ge.
10But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
10Mokakalam mari namarida, ma kabeamu eidi kebi lu ge; iaueakai le namarid mari uanatager, kega, Tabakeamu, oe, ueakai ma bakeamu au kalu: iaueakai ma nagri zorom uiabi opem, uader eidi okakis mari dog.
11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
11Abelelam, ese nerute le tababu bakai aule, E kebile; ese nerute le tababu bakai kebile, E aule.
12He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
12Ege E abi detager, le abi namarida, Ese ma derser uetpurem, pako leuer aroem, ma nolea tebudem mer tigri, pako leem mara boai, pako luglug le maike mari dog; iaueakai uiaba ko mari mer tigri, mari bodomalam.
13But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
13Ese ma derser uetpurem, ma mer tigri uiabim gaire le lu kak, pako atkurit atkurit, pako pone sadamer:
14and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
14Iaueakai ma uerkab; abelelam uiaba umer kak mari bodomalam: ia mari bodomalam keubu gerger, gaire le oituli ko obako.
15When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
15Nerute le emeri okakis eroli, ege E asoli gaire lu, epe E abi detager, kega, Uerkab abele le leuer eroli Ade ra baselaia ge.
16But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
16Ege E abi detager, kega, Nerute le de derseri au uetpur; E mer tigri gaire leem:
17He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
17Ege abele uetpur gerger baruk, E namariklu abara memeg le uiabim uader namarkare, kega, Ua tabakeuare; abelelam gaire lu uridili emetu derser.
18They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
18Epe uiaba mer batager, ui ge netate dikiaporare. Ege nerute le lut abi detager, kega, Kai sep arapeilu, abkoreb kaka nabakeamulu dasmer: debele ma kari namarik.
19“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
19Ege nerute le lut detager, kega, Kaka tais faif kau abele kaulam, kaka bakeamu, iaueakai kaka uiabi mirem: debele ma kari namarik.
20“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
20Ege nerute le detager, kega, Kaka nagri kosker, abelelam kaka umer kak bakeamulu.
21“That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
21Ege abele memeg le tabakeamu, E abi detager, tabara opole, abele gaire lu. Le giz abele boai au urker, ege tabara memeg le detager, Ma dudum bakeamu mager gabem abele uteb ge, ma taraisauem gaire le nolea lu kak, pako atkurit atkurit le, pako gaire sadamer le.
22“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
22Ege memeg le lut abi detager, kega, Opole, ege emetu ge esemulu gaire lu ge ma natomeret, epe abele meta nole le kak.
23“The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
23Ege abele opole de abele memeg le detager, kega, Ma bakeamulu au gabem, a asakirik, ma uiaba elele daratagerauem ko tabakeamu, iaueakai kara meta mitkar.
24For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen. ’”
24Abelegelam kaka uabi detagereda, nole nerute le uiabim mer tigri, eroli kara uetpur ge.
25Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
25Ege E okakis gaire lekub ge bakeamulu: ege egreemalu, a uiabi daratagerare,
26“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.
26Ese nerute le karim tabakeamu, a nole derara tabara aba, a apu, a kosker, a omasker giz, a boai giz, a berbet giz, pako tabara eded, umer kak E dali kara kaimeg kar.
27Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
27Ese nerute le nole tabara satauro ais, a nole kari narmili, nole abkoreb kara kaimeg kar.
28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
28Na le lagelag baker kar ikeli? Debele emeri a dikiapor naket mani bodomalam nako abkoreb iaueakai ikeli eseemuda.
29Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
29Ueakai uiaba abi neg degarare, abelelam E giz ikeli, nole aseamur kak,
30saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
30Uiaba detager, kega, Abele le E ditimeda ikeli, a nole aseamur kak.
31Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
31Na opole E lagelag ares nerute opole? Debele emeri a dikiapore nako umele ares abara le ten thausan, epe nerute le tabakeamu aresem, E nagri tuenti thausan le.
32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
32Ese umer kak ares, debele nerute le emarik, abelelam E muriz ge, E daisumuda nole ares.
33So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
33Mokakalam abele le nole abkoreb kara kaimeg, ese E nole adem gaire lu uridili.
34“Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
34Sol debe lu: ese nole kurabkurab, nako uaba iako kurabem?
35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
35Nolea abkoreb sep ge, a nole abkoreb gaire poipi lu giz ge: epe adem bataueret. Ese le nagri grip, debele asoli.
